A young couple from Moscow who were hoping to buy a new home received a shock after they found a young Russian boy for sale in an online advert.
The house-hunting pair were searching for a 'small home' online when they stumbled across an animals for sale section, only to find a five-year-old boy listed in a sick advert.
According to Russia's Moskovskij Komsomolets (MK) news outlet, Matvey, 33, claimed that the ad showed a photo of a young boy smiling along with the words “Seryozha – buy in Moscow”.
